About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · May 15, 2024
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
This joint resolution would reject a regulatory rule issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service in April 2024 regarding how federal agencies cooperate on endangered and threatened wildlife protection. If approved, the rule would be nullified and prevented from taking effect. The resolution was introduced by a group of Republican senators and was referred to the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee for consideration. This type of action is authorized under federal law allowing Congress to disapprove certain agency regulations. The specific details of what the rejected rule required and how its elimination would affect environmental protections and agency coordination are not detailed in the resolution text itself.
